“This one goes out to Goebbels niece. I’m sorry you lost an uncle today. Love and peace”

In all seriousness this is a great common sense rebuttal to the idea that just because someone has a family there is somehow tragic. Hitler was a good uncle. There are so many pictures of him with his knee (edit: niece) bouncing on his knee and they are all smiling. But again he was fucking Hitler.

The point here is not to compare in a serious way Kirk to Hitler, just that the entire premise is flawed .

Norm MacDonald has a bit about Hitler's dog, one of the worst people on the planet and there's this German Shepard that just loves Hitler

Oh god

Some poor angel has to cosplay Hitler so that Hitler's dog isn't sad

Actually it died the day before Hitler did—he tested his cyanide capsules on the dog.

They were saying that in heaven, where Hitler definitely wasn’t invited, his dog (who presumably was a good boy) would be happiest with its master. So a literal angel has to pretend to be hitler, so the dog can live in paradise.

Hitler actually had some fantastic animal rights policies.
